This was my first time attending the Canadian Film Fest and I have to say that it made a fine addition to my film festival line-up. It’s often easy to forget that Canada has its own film industry, when so much of our domestic film content comes from the United States. It’s great that there is a film festival in existence that gives local filmmakers a chance to have their films shown on the big screening. I managed to make it to about 75% of the film festival’s screenings, including 5 out of 6 of the feature films. Even though I didn’t personally love all of the films screened at the festival, I still applaud the filmmakers, who spent a lot of time and money to get these films shown the way they were meant to be seen – in a theatre in front of a crowd. Now without further ado, here are my Top Three Features and Top Five Shorts. Top Three Feature Films
- The Storm Within
- Skull World
- The Disappeared
Top Five Shorts
- Flood
- Counselling
- For Clearer Skies
- Aiden
- Zen
Keep an eye on this post for the addition of photos and video from the Canadian Film Fest, which will be linked as soon as they are uploaded.
